MAINTENANCE
NOTE!
Regular maintenance is important for safe, reliable operation.
CAUTION!
Only those persons who have appropriate electrical knowledge (authorized
personnel) may remove the safety plates.
CAUTION!
All warranty undertakings from the supplier cease to apply if the customer
attempts any work to rectify any faults in the product during the warranty period.
6.1
Power source
Check regularly that the welding power source is not clogged with dirt.
How often and which cleaning methods apply depend on:
•
welding process
•
arc time
•
positioning of power source
•
surrounding environment
It is normally sufficient to blow the power source with dry compressed air (reduced pressure)
once a year.
Clogged or blocked air inlets and outlets otherwise result in overheating.
